Crawford’s golden parachute: Dmitry Bivol’s Take on Terence’s Jump to Challenge Canelo Alvarez

Dmitry Bivol offers Terence Crawford a good chance of jumping the weight of 14 pounds from 154 to 168 to defeat Canelo Alvarez for his unquestionable half -weight championship on September 13.

Bivol Backs Crawford

The unified lightweight weight champion of three Bivol belts defeated Canelo in 2022 by a 12 -round unanimous decision. Crawford coach Brian ‘Bomac’ McIntyre revealed that they use Bivol style and does not stop doing it model From how they will approach the Canelo Superfigt.

Bivol says he saw what Big Crawford was like in fights and helped to think that he can beat Canelo. However, he admits that he will have to get used to his power. This will be difficult to do because Crawford has decided to keep it inactive for a year instead of being busy. Turki Alshikh, the financier of the event, should have insisted that Terence struggled at least twice during the year at 168. This was a lost opportunity.

The “struggle of the century”

At the beginning of today, Turki announced that what he calls “The Fight of the Century” Between Alvarez and Crawford they will be transmitted worldwide to Netflix. It could mean a wider scope, assuming that the subscribers are interested in this struggle. Many will not.

Crawford is not as well known as Mike Tyson in terms of name recognition among people who do not follow boxing. It is invisible to people who are not interested in sport. They know Canelo, but not Crawford. Go to the Netflix route through a fight that would appeal to the subscribers, such as Canelo vs. David Benavidez would make sense. But not with Crawford. She is a great lady.

“My reaction was (initially) the size of Crawford. It’s okay for him to advance two weight classes or not? Then I saw him … He is big and he has very good skills. Is one of my favorite boxers“, Said Dmitry Bivol to The ringdemonstrating that it is in favor of Terence Crawford that advanced two divisions to obtain an immediate title against Canelo Alvarez.

Bivol is not exactly non -skewed here. He already admits that Crawford is “one of my favorite boxers” and admires his defensive style. This is what Bivol uses. They are birds of a pen, which is why it is not a PPV attraction either.

The whole route that Crawford and Bivol make in their fights does not reson with fans who want actions. They want to entertain -Bivol and Crawford do not. They are runners.

Adaptation to the power of 168 lb

“He is able to win this struggle. But there are many small things that we do not know how he will. He has to get used to the power and pressure of 168 because it is a great difference,” said Bivol.

As Crawford goes “Using -ye in power” If you have chosen not to fight in the division of 168 pounds until you face Canelo on September 13? Sparring with a header against the minor fighters brought to the training camp will not help Crawford get used to power.

He will have header and his Sparring partners will not be instead of the level of Canelo. If they were, they would not work as Sparring members, right? Of course, the Mexican star is 100% washed in this late phase of his 19 -year -old professional. But it is still powerful and superior to any of the boxers that Crawford takes to the camp to help him train for the fight.

“Maybe it will get used to it and as you will feel the same day they will fight. But he is able, he has good skills. He is uncomfortable. He can use two boxing positions (SouthPaw and Orthodox). It gives him benefits,” said Bivol.

Terence Crawford will be difficult for “fighting” to Super Middleweight, considering that he has chosen no warming struggle to acclimate in the 168-pound weight class before fighting Canelo on September 13.

“Golden Parachute” by Crawford

Crawford had a whole year to carry out two in three fights after his last competition on August 3, 2024, against Israil Madrimov. Crawford chose not to do it. I just wanted to wait for Canelo’s struggle, which suggests that this is mainly money for Crawford.

That is, it is his golden parachute Payday to give it a gentle disembarkation to retirement. He is pathetic and anti -sports. You don’t like to see this kind of thing in any sport. Crawford should have to put in the line to win the fight against Canelo as other people do, but it has not had to do it. It is given as a golden clock to a person who retires from a company.
